Bangladesh vs New Zealand Highlights And Cricket Score 2nd Match - ODI Commentary

End of Over : 49.4 BAN: 226/10

227 is the target now. Is it defendable? Yes, but Bangladesh will need to bowl extremely well. The Kiwis on the other hand, will probably feel they have a golden opportunity to seal the series here itself. Join us for the second half to find out what will happen. A shorter than normal mid-innings break today...

The Kiwi bowlers weren't at their best today. Yes, every bowler did take a wicket but except for Matt Henry and to some extent Lockie Ferguson, none of the bowlers were up to the mark. Todd Astle controlled things in the middle but was expensive in the context of the game. There were too many extras and too many poor deliveries and worsened by poor fielding as well. In fact, extras were almost equal to the number of runs of the third highest score of any Bangladeshi individual in this innings. The hosts have still restricted Bangladesh to a total they will be pleased with but Williamson won't be happy with how they went along with things, knowing it could have been much lesser.

After being inserted, the away side once again got off to the worst of starts as they lost their top order even before crossing 50. Their middle order also failed to make an impact and they were reeling at 93 for 5. However, Mithun along with Sabbir added a 75-run stand which gave some respectability to the score. The former went onto score consecutive fifties. Bangladesh would have dearly loved for one of the two to stay till the end but that was not to be. Once the two got dismissed, the lower order failed to add anything substantial.

Another poor batting display by Bangladesh comes to an end. Now why I write poor is because New Zealand were way below their normal standards with the ball and in the field. Plenty of extras, too many dropped catches and quite a few run out chances missed. Despite that, the visitors have not put up a total which one can say could be competitive on this wicket.

49.4 W

James Neesham to Mashrafe Mortaza. OUT! Bangladesh have been bowled out! Neesham gets the last man. Mortaza moves across and looks to paddle but the ball is a little too full.

Mashrafe Mortaza is next to the crease.

43.5 W

Lockie Ferguson to Sabbir Rahman. OUT! Slowing down the pace does the trick! This is a huge wicket in the context, could make a difference of 15-20 runs to the final total. Ferguson who has been bowling over 145 kph so far has brought this one down by around 20 clicks and bowls this outside off. Sabbir is early into the drive, and through his shot by the time the ball arrived. It thus takes the outside half and flies towards point. The ball dips on the fielder but Neesham out there comes ahead and completes a good, low catch. Bangladesh in danger of not playing out their quota of 50 overs now.

39.3 2

Matt Henry to Mehidy Hasan. DROPPED! Another one goes down, the fourth of this innings. Henry Nicholls the culprit this time. The other Henry will not be pleased. A length ball outside off, Mehidy premeditates and dances down the track to smash it over the covers. Nicholls at deep covers initially misjudges it and comes in. Realising he has to go back a few steps, he does so and tries to take the catch above his head. The ball though does not stick in his hand. Another chance goes begging for the Kiwis. They have been poor in the field today.

35.3 0

Matt Henry to Sabbir Rahman. NOT OUT! Height is a factor as the ball is going over! Sabbir survives! Excellent use of the review there. It is a delivery which is bowled just behind a length around off, it comes back in. Sabbir goes back to defend but misses to get hit on the back pad. An appeal follows and the umpire raises his finger. Sabbir has to go for the review and he does so. Replays roll in and it shows the ball to be going over.

Review time... Sabbir has been given out LBW here. Looked like he was in front of the stumps but there is a chance that the height might be a factor here. Let's see what the replays have to say.

34.6 3

Todd Astle to Mehidy Hasan. A slider on the pads, worked fine by Mehidy towards the fine leg region. A long chase from Taylor as he just prevents the ball from going to the fence and saves a run for his team. Good end for Bangladesh to this over but it was a successful one for the Kiwis.

34.5 4

Todd Astle to Mehidy Hasan. FOUR! Bizarre scenes here! The batsman has cut this short ball outside very late and fine to the third man fence for a boundary. But, the bowler seems to be appealing for a hit wicket! That joy though is short-lived as the bails have been disturbed by the wicket-keeper, Latham. Lots of confusion but in the end, the honesty of the keeper is important to ensure no delay in the game. Four runs for Hasan to get off the mark.

34.4 0

Todd Astle to Mehidy Hasan. Another slider on middle, Mehidy pushes it towards the mid-wicket fielder.

Mehidy Hasan walks in at number 8.

34.3 W

Todd Astle to Mohammad Mithun. OUT! Clever bowling! Attacks the stumps and bowls a slider on a slightly shorter length. Mithun after playing two balls on the front foot, rocks back to cut this one. The ball though skids through before he can bring the bat down to cut it. The stumps are disturbed and the 75-run partnership has been broken by the leggie. Second wicket for him. Mithun walks back after scoring a good knock of 57 but he will himself know that he had to continue for sometime more.

34.2 0

Todd Astle to Mohammad Mithun. Hurled in quicker on middle, Mohammad hits it back towards the bowler on a single bounce.

33.1 0

Trent Boult to Sabbir Rahman. Good length delivery on off, Rahman defends off the front foot.

Drinks break! After having a break just 2-odd overs back, the players are having an official Drinks break now. Ridiculous wastage of time but that's what it is. Bangladesh are rebuilding well courtesy Sabbir Rahman and Mohammad Mithun here. New Zealand will look to break this partnership.

End of Over : 33 12 Runs BAN: 160/5
32.6 4

32.1 1

Todd Astle to Mohammad Mithun. DROPPED! Tossed up on middle, Mithun looks to play over the bowler but Astle gets a fingertip to it as he reacts a tad late. The ball goes through at a good speed and then very straight where a deep fielder does a fine job to save runs for his team. The batsmen get a single.

End of Over : 30 7 Runs BAN: 136/5

28.5 0

Todd Astle to Sabbir Rahman. APPEAL FOR LBW! NOT OUT! Tossed up on middle and leg, Rahman looks to flick but gets hit on the pads. The bowler appeals but the umpire shakes his head. Probably it was missing leg. Williamson wanted to go for the review but Tom Latham told him it would have been missing leg so he decides against the review.

Todd Astle to Mahmudullah. OUT! Bangladesh are losing their way. Astle strikes in his first over, another inspired bowling change from Kane Williamson! A flatter one outside off and turning just a tad bit, Mahmudullah looks to run it down fine of the face of the bat but the ball was too close to the body for him to be playing that shot. He gets a fine tickle and it goes straight into Latham's gloves. Well done on holding on! Half of the side is back in the hut now.

Drinks break! New Zealand have picked up four wickets in the opening period which saw a 7-minute rain interruption as well. They could have had even more if they had not put down 3 catches.

Mushfiqur has fallen just when a partnership was budding and now, plenty of rebuilding will have to be done! Meanwhile, Mahmudullah walks out to join Mohammad Mithun in the middle.

Matt Henry to Mushfiqur Rahim. DROPPED! Through the hands! That went to the fielder like a rocket but should have been taken. The short ball ploy to Rahim almost worked.

Matt Henry to Tamim Iqbal. OUT! Umpire's call and Tamim has to walk back. He though does not take a review with him. Both the Kiwi new ball bowlers have struck now. However, Henry has got the big fish. The length was the key here, he has been getting it full from the last few deliveries and he gets the reward. This pitches on middle and it is just ahead of a good length. Comes back in. Tamim plants his front foot across and looks to flick, misses to get hit on the front pad. An appeal and the umpire agrees. Tamim reviews after a chat with his partner. Replays show that the on-field call is the right one. Both the openers back without making an impact and Bangladesh in trouble here.

Review time... Tamim has been ruled out LBW here. He looks plumb in front but he wants to try his luck with the DRS. Height is the only thing that can save him here...

Oh yes, there we go! The players are back. The drizzle is around though but it is insignificant and we are all set to resume. Matt Henry going to his run up, Tamim Iqbal will continue facing him...

Update 1125 local - The covers (read cover) are being removed now. A clothed rope is being run across to remove the wetness from the outfield. Hopefully, we should be resuming real quick!

The rain has increased and the players are going off. The groundsmen are rushing onto the field with the covers. It looks like a passing shower though. And just as the players make their way out of the ground, the rain seems to have disappeared. The umpires take a U-turn and come back towards the pitch which is currently covered.

Trent Boult to Tamim Iqbal. Leading edge! On a length and around off, it shapes away a little. Iqbal plays it with a closed face of the bat. The ball takes the leading edge and goes towards point. Not good from Tamim, he got out playing with a closed face in the first game, he should not be repeating the same.

Soumya Sarkar is the new man in.

Trent Boult to Liton Das. OUT! In the air... and what a catch! Lockie Ferguson has taken a brilliant catch. Liton Das departs on the very first ball he faces from Boult. Das uses his feet to cover the swing. Boult however drops it a little shorter than the length he was bowling in his first over. Das plays a nothing shot, he ends up chipping it over mid off. For a second he might have thought he would get away but Lockie Ferguson backtracks, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes it nicely. Never easy those. Another failure for Das and the Kiwis strike early.

Williamson has a shy at the stumps and throws it at the striker's end but the throw is wayward. Tom Latham fails to collect it. Williamson is a good fielder and rarely he makes such errors.

Trent Boult to Tamim Iqbal. Squares him up! An excellent nut to end the over. Length and it shapes away late. It is on off hence Tamim has to play but the away movement beats the outside edge of Tamim's bat. A maiden to begin with and a good one by Boult.

TOSS - New Zealand won the toss and elect to field.

Hello and a warm welcome to the 2nd ODI between New Zealand and Bangladesh at Christchurch. The first match was a one-sided match where the Kiwis came out on top. It is a must-win game for the visitors and one would expect a better show from them. The hosts on the other hand would like to wrap up the series here itself. Will it be 2-0 in favour of the hosts or will Bangladesh bounce back? Stay tuned for the toss.

End of Over : 36.1 NZ: 229/2

That's all that we have from Christchurch. This game and the series so far has been a beating of sorts for the visitors. Can they come back hard in the final game and pick up a consolation win, helping them to take some momentum to the Tests? Join us for that match which will take place at University Oval in Dunedin on the 20th of February. It will begin at 1100 local (2200 GMT, previous night). See ya! Cheers.

Kane Williamson, the winning captain is happy about the clinical performance and about the way his boys are performing their given roles. He agrees that there was some help for them from the overhead conditions. He says that post the difficult series against India, it was important for them to come back and play better cricket. Reckons that partnerships are important in ODIs and is happy that his batsmen have put in a batting performance that is worthy of applause. Regarding his own form, Kane is humble and feels that he just did his job and mentions it was nice to spend some time in the middle. On this game being his last ODI before the World Cup, the NZ skipper who has been rested for the final match says that he will be following up with the team in Dunedin and it is not a long break before the Test matches against Bangladesh begin.

Bangladesh skipper, Mashrafe Mortaza, says it was difficult to bat in the morning and it got easier as the game progressed. Mentions the top order needs to step up but there are not many but surely some positives going forward. Admits they need to play more as a team. Reckons they need to build partnerships and score something around 270.

Martin Guptill, the Man of the Match feels that this was a much better hundred than the previous match, reckons this pitch was an easier one to bat on. He says that he does not look at the records and milestones and they come along the way. On a more jovial note, when asked if he has had a word with his mate, Ross Taylor regarding making and breaking records, Guptill smiles and says that he hasn't as yet but he surely will.

The lesser said about the visitors' bowling, the better. They looked toothless and barring the early wicket of Henry Nicholls which was a bad shot as well, they did not have any happiness. Yes, they did get Guptill but only after he scored 118. By that time, the bowlers were beaten to pulp and all the shoulders of the fielders had dropped. Thus, the series has been decided with a game to go. When the Bangladesh team came here, they did have some hopes of competing despite the loss of Shakib al Hasan but the way both the matches have gone certainly say a different story. A professional bowling performance, followed by clinical chases in both games. New Zealand have not broken a sweat and are 2-0 up in the 3-match series with a game to go. Presentation to follow...

It has been a stroll in the park, this. Nothing but that. One man, Martin Guptill just smashed the Bangladesh bowlers all around the ground and made his second hundred of the series. And if you do that while chasing a total of 227, you more or less ensure your team's win. Add to it, a supportive innings from his skipper, Kane Williamson who made a half-ton of his own. The other opener failed but the 143-run stand between Guptill and Kane meant that the only other batsman who came to bat when the right-handed opener fell had not much to do.
